But we already did that (in the Graphics dialog the 
unsigned_float_filter doesn't allow the user to insert negative values 
into "Scale"). This is not very difficult to add for other dialogs 
where it is sensible, but of course it /should/ be sensible (e.g. I 
have overdone this in the paragraph dialog where I used 
unsigned_float_filter for VSpace, which is fixed now by John, though).

Why should this be sensible? IMHO the approach to disallow senseless 
values is good, but we have to discuss what values are sensible in each 
and every case.
